Origins/background: Several years ago, popular star Charles Dera grew a classic pornstar mustache. In an interview with Holly Randall, he noted, “It’s me. It’s who I really am! That’s the biggest thing for me — I get to be who I want to be. [Also], it casts me into the pervert creepy roles, and I love playing those roles and just being that weirdo!” Dera decided to take that persona to its logical conclusion in his new label, Tough Love X, which spotlights the star in a series of starring roles as the tough, resourceful bad-ass Karl Tough. (Think a pumped-up ’80s action-movie hero with an exceedingly dirty mind and very few moral qualms.) In the Father Karl niche of Tough Love X, Dera plays Karl’s incarnation of — you guessed it — a pervy faux priest.
Memorable scene: “Exorcism . . . more like a sexorcism!” A desperate dad phones Father Karl in hopes that he can help release his daughter from the spell of a sexual demon. Once Karl hears that the woman in question is a petite Asian teen, he swings into action, complete with holy water and exorcism guidebook. His bizarre exorcism methods (including judicious application of a pussy pump to draw out the demon) are captured in stylized, jump-cut fashion to convey the intensity of the devilry at play.

Quotable: “The world of porn has never experienced something quite like the world of Karl Tough Love. It’s gritty, slutty, often funny, and wildly entertaining sexual fun. Women will want to fuck him. Men will want to be him.” (Tough Love X’s VOD distributor on the appeal of the brand)
“Has the Lord provided or what?” (Karl Toughlove talking and winking directly into the camera as he surveys Jade Kush in scene four)
